Calm stories for sleepy heads
Bedtime mode turns Clever Cookie Studios into a gentle wind-down: calm stories read slowly, a sleep timer that dims the screen and softens the sound, and a goodnight that means goodnight.
Bedtime mode
Everything slows down at bedtime
Switch bedtime on and the stories, the screen and the sound all get calmer, so the last thing before sleep is quiet, cosy and familiar.
Books
Calm stories, read slowly
Adventure books are read straight through on a dark, warm page: no choices, no puzzles, a gentler voice, and the pages turn themselves.
TV
A wind-down on the TV
Choose one more story or a sleep timer. Near the end the screen dims and the sound softens, then a starry goodnight.
Calm
Goodnight means goodnight
Once it's said goodnight, starting another story just goes back to the goodnight screen, and children's own devices rest until morning.
Grown-ups
You're in charge
From your phone or the website, switch bedtime on until the morning, set a sleep timer, or stop for now.
Morning
Remember last night's story?
The next morning (never at bedtime), a few gentle questions about the story help children remember and retell it.
Today's walk, at bedtime
After a story trail, hear the day's adventure told again as a calm bedtime story, with your child's own choices in it.
Questions about bedtime mode
What is bedtime mode?
A calmer way to end the day. Stories are quieter and slower, adventure books are read straight through with no choices, the TV can wind down with a sleep timer, and it all finishes with a goodnight.
Does it work on the TV?
Yes. On the Apple TV app you can choose one more story or a sleep timer; near the end the picture dims and the sound softens, then a starry goodnight screen appears.
Can I turn it on from my phone?
Yes. A grown-up can switch bedtime on until the morning, set a sleep timer or stop for now from the Clever Cookie app or the website, and the TV follows along.
Are there adverts or autoplay at bedtime?
No. There are never adverts, and nothing plays on its own: once it's said goodnight, it stays goodnight.
